The Chairs

The Chairs follows an elderly couple who pass their time in an abandoned seaside building playing private games and telling each other half-remembered stories. The Old Man resolves to convey his wisdom to a lifetime of friends, but while the Old Woman frantically sets out chairs, all of their invited guests appear to be imaginary. Annie Elias (Tenderloin) directs this eccentric meditation on the human condition, in a new translation by Rob Melrose.
